Hatton Locks Easy Ramble and Lock Open Day

Event Details:  Starting at Hatton Country World this great 5½ mile ramble with Rob Smith coincides with the Canal and River Trusts lock open day where will get a chance to visit a canal lock drained for the winter maintenance work.

Hatton Country World is a lovely place anyway as there are lots of lovely shops and cafes  

The 5½ mile ramble uses pretty farmland as we make our way past Whitehall Woods and on to the village of Budbrooke.

We then use part of the Hatton Flight of Locks along part of the Grand Union Canal.

Lock 40 will be drained and here we will meet the dedicated teams that keep our canals alive. You will have the unique opportunity to learn about the repairs on lock 40, as well as get involved in other canal theme activities around the site.

Learn about the incredible work we do, from understanding how water flows through the canal system to uncovering the rich local history. It is also a great chance to explore how you can get involved in volunteering with the Trust.

If you don’t wish to go into the lock, you can visit the famous Hatton locks café.

Back at Hatton you can either eat at the onsite Cafes/ Diner
